Y’all remember the Ghost of Kyiv?
When the Internet circulated unverified reports of a legendary pilot that was taking out ridiculous numbers of Russian aircraft… Turned out it was 100% fabricated.
Remember Snake Island?
When we were told 90 Ukrainian forces heroically refused to surrender and they were slaughtered... Turned out Russia took all of them alive, and they all surrendered willingly.
Remember when the media were using old photos and video from Syria and footage from video game simulators?
My point is that war propaganda is real, and Western media have been producing it in Ukraine and for decades before that.
As it pertains to Israel/Palestine; we don’t know what reports are real, what is being exaggerated, or who is behind what. But history would suggest that everything the official narrative says now will end up being vastly different later on.
I wish we didn’t have to think like this... Needless to say, there is a lot of disinformation out there. Stay frosty.

Can you smell that? That is the smell of Fresh Prince. It’s the smell of a Padron 1926 and it’s all mine!
Right now someone is writing a movie noscript featuring a rural white Trump voter, a black man and a transexual in the US Army together and cathartically realising they’re all Americans who love freedom and hate Islamo-Fascism.

❗️🇺🇸👉🇷🇺🇨🇳 Russia and China may turn out to be the only winners in the Palestinian-Israeli war, says Bloomberg.
The conflict in the Middle East will not only hit the West's power and authority, but will also drain its already scarce resources on Ukraine, the article reports.
According to the publication, the West's rash actions and hypocrisy are playing into the hands of Russia and China.
Biden will have to abandon attempts to counter China's growing influence in the region, and the West's double standards will come under international scrutiny.

"The Education of the Children of Clovis", by Lawrence Alma-Tadema (dutch), 1861.
The painting depicts Queen Clothilde, spouse to King Clovis, sitting on her throne, watching her two older sons Chlodomer and Childebert being trained in the art of axe throwing. She is accompanied by her attendants, soldiers and courtiers. Her youngest son Clothar is beside her. The reason for training her sons is to avenge the murder of her parents, who were killed by her uncle Gondobald, King of the Burgundians.
It is written in the book: The History of the Frank's Book III in Chapter 6, where Queen Clotilde said: "Let me not repent, dearest sons, that I have nursed you lovingly; be angry, I beg you, at the insult to me, and avenge with a wise zeal the death of my father and mother."

FDA Has Results of Subclinical Myocarditis Studies, but Won't Release Them Yet
“FDA officials in January 2022 directed Moderna to run three prospective studies on subclinical myocarditis, or heart inflammation without symptoms, after COVID-19 booster vaccination.
Moderna has shared the results of the P203 study with the FDA, an FDA spokeswoman told The Epoch Times in an email. But she declined to provide them. To obtain the results, she said, The Epoch Times would need to request them under the Freedom of Information Act (FOIA).
The spokeswoman did not disclose why the FDA doesn't release the results absent a FOIA request.
The Epoch Times has submitted a FOIA request for the results but has not yet received them.”

"As Western states have grown increasingly unnerved by signs of popular unrest at home, they have started to think more carefully about how to sidestep the restrictions placed on them by international law.
"The term refers to a body of laws that were formalised in the aftermath of the second world war, when both sides treated civilians on the other side of the battle lines as little more than pawns on a chessboard.
"The aim of those drafting international law was to make it unconscionable for there to be a repeat of Nazi atrocities in Europe, as well as other crimes such as Britain’s fire bombing of German cities like Dresden or the United States’ dropping of atomic bombs on Hiroshima and Nagasaki.
"One of the fundamentals of international law – at the heart of the Geneva Conventions – is a prohibition on collective punishment: that is, retaliating against the enemy’s civilian population, making them pay the price for the acts of their leaders and armies.
"Very obviously, Gaza is about as flagrant a violation of this prohibition as can be found. Even in “quiet” times, its inhabitants – one million of them children – are denied the most basic freedoms, such as the right to movement; access to proper health care because medicines and equipment cannot be brought in; access to drinkable water; and the use of electricity for much of the day because Israel keeps bombing Gaza’s power station.
"Israel has never made any bones of the fact that it is punishing the people of Gaza for being ruled by Hamas, which rejects Israel’s right to have dispossessed the Palestinians of their homeland in 1948 and imprisoned them in overcrowded ghettos like Gaza.
"What Israel is doing to Gaza is the very definition of collective punishment. It is a war crime: 24 hours a day, 7 days a week, 52 weeks of every year, for 16 years.
"And yet no one in the so-called international community seems to have noticed."
